Today, on 26 October in Elvis History

Two shows that day. First Elvis appeared at the Vigor High School, Mobile, Alabama, at 10:00 a.m. where the show was ended after half an hour because Elvis told an off-color joke, which the principal of the school didn't appreciate. At 3:30 and 7:30 p.m. Elvis performed at the Greater Golf States Fair, Prichard, Alabama.

Elvis arrived in New York and rehearsed there with the Jordanaires. The Colonel concluded a deal with RCA, permitting them to use Elvis's name for promoting a record player called the Victrola phonogram.

Elvis performed at the Civis Auditorium, san Francisco, California at 3:00 and 8:15 p.m.

Elvis began recording 6 songs for Kid Galahad' soundtrack at Radio Recorders. He worked from 6:00 p.m. till 4:25 a.m

On the set of Stay Away Joe Elvis told a reporter from Cosmopolitan magazine that he still had a lot to learn about acting. " Much of his progress, he says, comes from hanging out with real good professionals, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't pick up on something from the other actors.

Elvis spent every weekend during filming in his house in Palm Springs.

Elvis performed at the University of Ohio, Dayton, Ohio. In The Star appeared an article by Steve Dunleavy (Red and Sonny West's collaborator) with parts of the telephone conversation earlier that month between Elvis and Red, which Red had taped. The headline was: " Elvis Dramatic Plea To His Ex-Bodyguards: Don't Write That Book About Me". This all was a terrible way to wake up for Elvis, that what he had considered to be a private thing between him and his friends was now fully out of control and well known to all.
